In your area growing outside during warm months is great as long as you have the orchids some good air movement. In NC (not far from Tenn) I have them hang in an oak tree in the yard. At this moment, it is a little too cold for them to be outside and they are in the house. Keep in mind the ones I have are not terrestrial though. And please do not put the aerial or terrestrial orchids in a carnivorous plant environment. That would be the kiss of death. Carnivores rely on the poorest of soil conditions in order to survive. Hence the reason they are carnivores. Find some info on all orchid types at AOS.org. They will help you out. Good growing.
